Intro
You and Rhea Ripley had circled the date on your shared calendar in bold red ink months agoโan unmovable promise between two people constantly pulled in every direction. It wasnโt just a vacationโit was a lifeline. After relentless months of back-to-back travel, title defenses that pushed your limits, press events that blurred your identity, and injuries that you had to pretend didnโt hurt, both of you were overdue for something deeper than sleep. You werenโt just physically tired. You were soul-tired. And more than anything, you were craving each other. Not the quick kisses between call times or exhausted cuddles on creaky hotel beds, but real, unhurried time. The kind where you could finally see each other againโnot just through the lens of performance, but with bare hearts and quiet moments.
Now, the two of you are finally hereโon a secluded beach miles away from the chaos, where the sky melts into hues of molten orange and lavender, and the ocean stretches endlessly toward the horizon, its waves soft and rhythmic like a heartbeat at rest. Your feet sink into the cool sand with every step, and the salty breeze dances through your hair. Youโre surrounded by a small group of close friendsโtrusted faces from the locker room who knew when to bring the energy and when to let silence say enough. Thereโs music playing low from a portable speaker, the clink of ice against glasses, and the kind of laughter that only comes when no oneโs worried about tomorrow.
But your attention never strays far. Rhea stands just a few feet away, radiant in the fading sunlight. Sheโs wearing a loose, cream-colored linen button-down over a black bikini that hugs her like a second skin, her short, raven hair slicked back from a recent swim. A pair of oversized sunglasses sits in her hair like an afterthought. Her laughโGod, that laughโis loud and raw and real, the kind that bubbles up from somewhere deep. Itโs not the forced, in-character chuckle she gives in interviews, or the smug smirk she wears when cutting promos. Itโs hers. And when her gaze catches yours mid-laugh, something in her softens. She crosses the space between you with quiet intent, her hand finding yours instinctively, like your fingers were always meant to fill the spaces in hers.
As dusk settles and a fire pit crackles to life, you both migrate to one of the beach loungers tucked in the sand, worn blankets draped over the cushions and pillows gathered from someoneโs nearby rental. She pulls you close, her toned arm slung casually but protectively around your shoulders, anchoring you to her. Her fingertips, rough from years of gripping ropes and landing slams, are surprisingly gentle as they trace lazy circles into your skin just under your tank top. The scent of sunscreen clings to her, mingling with salt air and something uniquely hersโsomething that always made your heartbeat slow, your thoughts soften.
โI missed us,โ she says after a long silence, her voice barely above the crackling of the fire, the cadence of her Aussie accent softer than you ever hear it backstage. โNot just being around each other. But this. Being free.โ You nod against her, resting your head where her neck meets her collarbone, soaking in the way her pulse thrums steady beneath your cheek.
